Maxon console concept (Backup from The verge post)

Hello Vergers 🙂

Today I will be showing something that I thought when I mixed the best of Console, Mobile/Tablet gaming aspects with some multimedia features and other things… (Note: This is not aimed to be real, but rather a concept to show off what Next-Gen Could be)

I really wanted to do this because it seemed to me that majority of people are not liking what Next-Gen looks like so far..

The Logo

But what’s important is the console’s look and features (Especially the controller)

Console features (Controller):

• Anti-reflective and semi-glossy piano black skin
• Packs Bluetooth, NFC (It has it all over the case of the controller for easy opt-in and out of the console)
• 2 Cameras (8MP Touchpad side with flash and 2MP Touchscreen side)
• Support for non-tag and tag AR camera mode (NFC and bluetooth also enhances this feature, for example, using a large screen or musical fountains for displaying your character and interacting with it)
• 4 Physical Buttons (2 Around the Touchpad side Camera, Home/sleep, hold both of them to shutdown/power on) – R and LT
• There are no Physical buttons on the front of the controller, watermark logo on the back.
• (Not in this picture) Mini-USB for Charging or Wired Controller.
• 10 Fingers multi-touch screen with support for Senseg Technology for Virtual Texture/Simulator of physical buttons
• Accelerometer and Gyroscope with Touchpad (Multi-touch but optional for being overly used, can be used as secondary L and R buttons also) with addition to be used also as a motion controller as another option.

• Kinect-like motion controlling with support of both cameras (Standing, sitting or with only hands used, another optional option)
• 16:9 1280×720 resolution screen
• The dimensions of this controller is a little smaller than the Galaxy Note. ( 142 x 80 x 7.8 to 8.5 )
• Optional, Detachable controller that looks like this: [LINK]
• Gesture and Edge screen swipes support

• Cross-platform multiplayer/Companion app for pocket, mobile/tablet and computers with Maxon console

• Platform App universal on Mobiles, Tablets, Computers that support it. (Used as Companion app, as a controller, as a place to play games, AR support and UniPlanet)

Here you go, you can discuss this, and don’t think that I’m advertising it (this is my idea that I wanted to share to every Verger here)
